Remove from heat. While pasta is cooking take 2 or 3 tablespoons of water from pot and mix in with oil mixture.

This i one of our favorite quick dishes, so I make the bread crumbs and keep them in refrigerator so I won't have to make them each time. They will keep a long time.

BREAD CRUMBS:

1 c. Italian style bread crumbs
2 tsp. dried parsley
4 tbsp. Romano cheese, grated
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

Toast bread crumbs in frying pan, they burn very fast, so stir and watch. Add remaining ingredients. Store in covered container in refrigerator until needed.
